Overview

Of all the Knightly Houses in the Imperium, House Raven is the largest by far. Indeed,
Raven’s Knights number in the hundreds, with dozens of households ready to answer the
summons of the Adeptus Mechanicus should they be called to war. Quite why there are so
many Knight suits available to House Raven is something of a mystery. However, ancient
records dating back to when their world, Kolossi, was first settled refer to a piece of STC
archeotech that long ago fell into disrepair and was lost. Whether this STC system and
Kolossi’s natural resources served as the perfect combination for producing Knight suits, or if
the first human settlers merely prioritised the creation of Knight suits above all else, remains
an enigma.[1a]

One of Raven's first rulers, Lord Grunwald, introduced a knightly elite within the House known as the Companions. This inner circle comprimses many of the most powerful and experienced knights of the house. The majority of them are Knight Errant and Knight Paladin pattern suits. Another sub-order within the House known as the Iron Brotherhood also exists, comprising of a skilled band of Sacristans from Metalica.[1b]
